As I’m leaving any kind of creativity behind, caught in a storm of things to do and things to plan, I must say I really admire anyone who manages to have any sort of creative output.

Sometimes there are films everybody loves that I find very difficult to appreciate. I even have a special list on Letterboxd about ‘Known masterpieces I didn’t agree with’. It’s not a long list, but this week I’ve added one more entry.

Here’s a very delayed round-up of a week that happened oh so long ago.

My posts have become less and less frequent and their publication unpredictable.
Well, get ready for even less predictability, as I’m entering a rather complicated and uncertain period, during which I’m not even sure I’ll be able to write these roundups.

This week I have ramped up my absorption of French films, in preparation for my move from a partially-French-speaking country to a fully-francophone one.
I didn’t expect so many French films from the 2000s’ to look like they were shot in the eighties. But I probably need to look beyond Netflix to find some very good ones.

This was a holiday week, and I spent it around Italy, visiting new and old places, eating (of course), drinking spritzes and, of course, watching films.
